What can I do to over ride no fly zones? Have a customer in that area.
And to all the goody two shoes out there, you do realize that DJIs enforcement of these NFZ is almost moot right? If someone wants to fly in a NFZ bad enough, they will just buy a drone without restrictions and have at it.
You should be able to request an unlock for the NFZ through dji's flysafe server. See http://www.flysafe.dji.com. You have to go through some hoops and documentations, as well as ID checks, but they will unlock your soecific NFZ. You will need to give them lat/long positioning, radius of the unlock, and inclusive dates. Even If you are in the DC NFZ, they will accomodate you, so long as they are satisfied with your documentation, which it appears that you can supply.Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here is my dilemma on the NFZ. I work at an air force base in the public affairs office, I and my shop give clearance to take photos on the base. I shoot b-roll around the base and bought a DJI Phantom 3 pro to shoot some of the history, attractions and flightline. I have gotten clearance from the flight safety office, base operations, control tower, security forces and base commander and because of the geo fencing I can't do any of this photography around MY base. Most of my shooting would be under 300 feet, any higher and I can get the state troopers to take me up in their helicopter. Since I have higher approval to do this kind of work does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get around this restricted area/geo fencing in the DJI Go app?
Interesting, but i would just rather email flysafe and request a software NFZ unlock. Once in their database it is a very easy process. Before the timeframe expires, just request an extension. It is just as easy to submit new oordinates. They are prompt and efficient.They have hacked the NFZ on most of the DJI drones.

DJI might unlock your bird, but they have no authority to give you permission to fly in a NFZ. That is strictly up to the Government agency controlling the airspace. No way DJI can 'approve' you flying in the DC NFZ!You should be able to request an unlock for the NFZ through dji's flysafe server. See http://www.flysafe.dji.com.

Interesting concept. Looks like they have you install their circuit board and then use it to 'fake out' the GPS in the bird so that it thinks that you are outside the NFZ. Again, toehold technology bug-a-boo, just because you can do something, doesn't mean that that you should!! Regardless of ho inconvenient they may be, NFZ's were put in place for a reason and 'sneaking' into one doesn't do you or the rest of us any good. And yes, i know that many of them probably appear to be ridiculous and/or useless, but that doesn't make them any more binding.They have hacked the NFZ on most of the DJI drones.

Not sure about this but if you have internet access before you take off you can override a restricted area - I did it once when I had clearance from ATC to fly in controlled airspace. If you're not connected to the internet I don't think you get the option in Go. Something or other texted some kind of code to my phone, which I then typed in to Go and I was good to fly.Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here is my dilemma on the NFZ.

Once you have FAA approval to fly within the DC NFZ, DJI will remove the geofence with the location, time and radius parameters you specify. I agree that flying in the DC NFZ without FAA approval is against the law.Remember,
DJI might unlock your bird, but they have no authority to give you permission to fly in a NFZ. That is strictly up to the Government agency controlling the airspace. No way DJI can 'approve' you flying in the DC NFZ!

Not in a NFZ!! You can't give yourself permission to fly there! That would kind of defeat the purpose of a NFZ. And I seriously doubt that any ATC is going to authorize you to enter the space. To even have any hope of being allowed to fly there you would probably have to go the online request route.Just to clarify, ATC will not give you clearance to fly, you are only informing them that you will be flying.
As an ATC myself, you are correct in your statement. I am not sure how you go about getting approval but I can attest to the fact that we do not give approval. When I show up to work, or while I am working, a supervisor will brief you saying there is authorized drone activity in whatever area and that a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) is active that lets other pilots know where authorized drone activity is.Just to clarify, ATC will not give you clearance to fly, you are only informing them that you will be flying.
